the common mod is a ytx14bs it is a 12 A battery and is miles better than the ytx12bs 10A battery that they come with as std.
I was recomended the ytz14bs by badger as it has a mega cca but is only 11A.
It works miles better than either of the others so much so, with the wiring mod and the yammy solienoid I don't even use an optimate now!

Fat Boy,
I have an 03 RSV and put in the YTX14 battery yesterday, it fits no problem (is a little higher than the YTX12) and I just used a longer bolt to fix the battery bracket.
I brought the battery from MDS for £45, and charged it up overnight with optimate before fitting.
So far the battery has been excellent - starts every time, no more converting KPH -> MPH whilst riding because of reset!
Cheers
